Do you ever find yourself with left over cilantro when you’re cooking? Or perhaps more grew in your garden than you know what to do with. This is where dehydrating comes to the rescue. Although cilantro takes quite a while to dehydrate, it’s super simple and well worth the effort. No more guilt from wasting perfectly good cilantro.
While instant rice products exist and rice itself is naturally shelf-stable, dehydrating rice offers unique advantages. It allows you to transform nutrient-rich rice varieties—typically requiring long cook times—into a quick-cooking option perfect for outdoor adventures. Plus, it's an excellent way to repurpose leftover rice efficiently.
Dehydrating bananas is great for making delicious snacks and making use of those bananas that are little over ripe (especially when there's no more room in the freezer!)
